Thank you Allen and RIP August 11, 2008
What can I say, I was a 30 a day man for 30 years read this book and have not touched a cig for 10 weeks now. I have the odd craving but they are easy to overcome. My advise is to buy it, read it and add a few years to your life.
Ignore those people who were epic fail, if you GET it, this works August 9, 2008

Like, really. If you want to feel optimistic about being a non-smoker rather than dreading the rest of your life without your little poisonous crutch, then buy this book.
Some reviewers have asserted that Carr is wrong to say that smokers don't really enjoy it. But he isn't. I used to call smoking my "toxic panacea" and I could rhapsodise about the physical and mental joys of smoking and genuinely mean it.
Then I read this book.
My life will never be the same again, because I am free. Normal "giving up smoking" methods are doomed to failure whereas if you understand what Carr is saying, you are going to succeed, and walk away from your prison with joy.
Okay so he isn't the greatest writer in the world and at times I found his style a bit patronizing, but they would be the crappest excuses not to stop smoking ever.
Do try this book if you want to be free of smoking.
The most worthwhile book i have ever read! July 29, 2008
I have tried to give up smoking tens of times using patches, willpower, gum etc and nothing ever worked until I read this book. My husband had read it first, given up and hadn't craved a cigarette since. I thought "This can't be true I must give it a try".
It took me a month to read the book, a chapter here a chapter there. I was scared to finish the book because i knew i would have to stop smoking (you can still smoke whilst reading the book)and i wasn't sure that i could do it. Everything Allen Carr was telling me i already knew, how was it going to work? But when i finished it somehow someway Allen Carr had undone all the years of brainwashing that i had done to myself about how i needed a cigarette and i really didn't want one. Infact i knew that i wouldn't want one ever again.
I now feel completely free and clean. I wish i had known about this years ago.
HAVEN'T SMOKED FOR 5 YEARS AFTER READING THIS! July 9, 2008
I gave up (again) and was suffering the usual feelings of withdrawal, so in desperation I ordered this book to help me. By the time it arrived, I was desperate for a cigarette and wouldn't have been able to resist much longer. The book was wonderful. I read it in a day, put it down and that was it. Really, I haven't wanted a cigarette since. (And I used to smoke 30 a day!). I've lent it to others and they've stopped, too.
I can't recommend it highly enough.
 Sorry but did not work for me July 8, 2008
I have wanted to give up for ages but tried everything.
Someone suggested this book and the reviews are good, so I thought i would try it. I first read the Womens edition and I did this with a positive frame of mind. Good book, he makes some good points, but sorry, it did not work for me. So I tried the normal edition, I read it half way through and just knew it was not going to work for me either.
I think it is great that it has helped so many people,and Allen Carr makes some good points, BUT I found it to be annoying,preachy and patronising.
I was going to go to one of the Allen Carr group sessions (which use a small dose of Hypnotherapy at the end)these cost 220, but you can get 2 hours with a Hypnotherapist for that. I understand that Allen Carr actually gave up using Hypnotherapy! I decided that I would try this route for myself. So I made sure that i found a really good Hynotherapist, and I have been a non smoker for a week now!!!!! brilliant, no cravings,no agony, its so easy and it works! I cant believe that I gave up so easily after smoking for 25 years. AMAZING!
I wish I had done this years ago.
